The poem describes an encounter the author had with a homeless man while waiting for the subway. The man was begging with an empty jar, and the author initially hesitated to give anything, feeling guilty. However, the author ultimately took an apple and sandwich out of their bag to give to the man, who thanked them with a smile. The experience stayed with the author and made them reflect on the importance of showing mercy to those in need. The poem emphasizes that true wealth comes from having mercy in your heart, not money or possessions.

Man Repeller
The narrator describes their experience on a 15-hour flight to China for a study abroad program in the summer of 2012. An overly friendly woman used the narrator as a pillow for most of the flight, and was the only one who got a singing child in the next seat to stop. During the first week, some students in the program misbehaved by drinking underage and discussing drugs, so a group confronted them, but the narrator left irritated. At a bakery, the narrator realized they had stored money in their bra instead of pockets, and the cashier understood their embarrassment when they retrieved it, making them both laugh.

Be like the coffee bean
The document tells a story using three pots on a fire containing carrots, eggs, and coffee beans to represent how people can respond to difficulties in life. The carrots became soft, the eggs hardened inside, but the coffee beans transformed the water with their smell and color. This represents responding to problems by becoming weak, bitter, or using difficulties to improve oneself and one's environment. The moral is that people should aim to be like the coffee beans when facing life's challenges, learning from hardships rather than allowing them to break their spirit.
